Non-tenure-track (NTT) faculty account for 36 percent of MU faculty positions. Yet they are unable to vote on university policy decisions.
On Nov. 8, Faculty Council approved by a 15-3 vote a proposal to give NTT faculty voting rights. The proposal means the issue will be voted on by all tenured and NTT faculty.
Before that vote happens, a faculty forum will be held on the issue. Neither the forum nor the vote has been scheduled yet.
If passed, the NTT faculty proposal will go for approval to the University of Missouri Board of Curators.
